Design Asia is a small-scale enterprise devoted to the promotion of hand loom productsmainlytextilesand ready-made garments for women, men and children - that use pure, natural fabrics ofcotton,silk and linen,hand-crafted by highly-skilled artisans. Started in 2004 in the eastern metropolis of Kolkata(Calcutta), India, the initial focus was on garments forwomen,with the textiles sourced from various renownedcraft centersin India . In the intervening period, theproduct range hasbroadened to include ready-madegarments for men andchildren, and also been extendedto other textile products inareas such as home andclothing accessories.The styles are eclectic, mixing traditional with new original designs that emphasize the art ofhand loom weaversthrough their patterns,textures, and colors. DesignAsia has its small worskop in the Salt LakeBasundhara area of Eastern Kolkata, but its registered sales outlet has moved from its first home in Swabhumi the Heritage plaza, to a recent opening in the Central-South Bhowanipore area of the city close to the Forum Mall on Lee Road (between Elgin Road and A.J.C. Bose Road), in a lane leading from next to the Reid & Taylor's showroom on Lee RoadThe intention is to create products that are affordable, durable and high in quality, and that can be worn and used comfortably in a wide variety of cultural settings and occasions. The items are destined for both domestic and foreign markets, matching current lifestyles and demands while retaining their universal appeal over time. There is no attempt to follow the dictates of global fashion centers and advertising.In the area of garments, therefore, the influences are both Asian and Western, ranging from kurtas and tops of varying length to skirts and wrap-a rounds,pants and churidars ,shirts, pants, sherwanis and jackets, saris and stoles, dresses and salwar-suits. The textileproductrange is gradually expanding to hand-painted and batik decorations, shawls, bags, home furnishings and wall-hangings.As resources permit, the planned next stage is to improve Design Asia's direct outreach to the weavers, working with them toimprove the consistency and quality of their products, and helpingto revive traditions and skills that are being lost throughmass-production, synthetics and the pressures of export-leddesigns andstyles. The main purpose of this web-site is to informand updateour viewers on the range of styles and productsavailable throughDesign Asia. News on artisan backgrounds andpromotional workwill be supplied.
